A screw was missing in one corner, so I called the hardware store. "Do you carry screws for picture frames?" I asked. "What size do you need?" "I don't know, but it's rather small." The man sighed. "Ma'am, we have 'itsy-bitsy' size screws for a dollar and 49 cents in a package of 10, and we have 'teeny-weeny' size screws , also for a dollar and 49 cents in a package of 10. I can give you a special deal and sell you both packages for two dollars and fifty cents.'" ______________________________________________________   Note the female captain! _____________________________________________________

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Calvin Davis, 47, Newark, Delaware  Day care workers stop creep from running off with 2 tots. Cops tenderize and arrest him.  Day care workers in Delaware stopped a man from walking off with two babies after the stranger shoved his way into the facility and grabbed the infants, state police said Friday. The man rang the front doorbell at Happy Kids Academy in Newark and pushed a worker to get into the facility, police spokesman Sgt. Richard Bratz said. The man went to the infant room, punched another worker in the face, and picked up two infants, putting one under each arm. When the man tried to leave with the babies, one of the workers stood in front of the door to stop him, police said. The other worker went behind the man and grabbed one baby. The first worker then caught the second baby as the child began slipping from the suspect's arm. The suspect ran from the day care, punching a car in the parking lot, Bratz said. State and county police officers saw the man and ordered him to stop walking and show his hands, police said. The man refused to obey the officers' orders, Bratz said, and one officer shot him with a Taser. The man continued to approach the officer, police said, and the officer tripped on a curb and fell backward. The officer again deployed the Taser, authorities said, but the man continued to approach the officer. The officer then hit Davis for a while with a baton, and was able to eventually take him into custody, Bratz said. Calvin Davis, 47, of Newark was taken to a hospital for evaluation. When he is released, Bratz said, Davis will be charged with kidnapping, assault and various other offenses. The mug shot seems to be from previous arrests. The injured officer was taken to a hospital. One of the two babies sustained a minor cut.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Chris Re: Mailing photoshop pictures Dear Webby, Good morning and I hope this finds you and yours well. My husband sent me a group of pictures from his laptop at work. It's in Adobe Photoshop files and I can't open the attachment. I get the box with the red X that says it was unable to open the program because 'qt-mt.dll' wasn't found and that I should reinstall it. I'm clueless at this point, can you tell me what that program is and how/where I go to install it. I have downloaded the photoshop, but still it isn't working. Thanks for the jokes, pictures, and teck help. Have a great and safe weekend! Chris  Dear Chris Ask hubby to save the files as JPG and then send them again. Have FUN! DearWebby
